Would LOVE to see their breakdown of how they will keep all 25,000 workers employed at jobs that overlap each other. And create 5,000 more?? Let's see that in writing, please. When has a purchase of one company by another EVER resulted in jobs gained as opposed to jobs getting cut when they are companies of the size of AT&T and T-Mobile?? We have reached the "Say Anything" portion of AT&T's P.R. Media blitz.....

Att and Tmobile have already told us that they are laying off around 20k jobs on the Tmo side alone. Thats not counting the jobs they will get rid of on the ATT sales side. All those overlapping positions will be filtered and dissolved.

So we should stop caring about that and instead focus on 5k jobs coming back from india!?!?!?!?!

Wow.. ATT, just get back to bribing senators and stop making stupid claims.

AT&T and T-Mobile announced nothing. T-Mobile said they'd laid off around 2,600 and it was *blamed* on the merger, even though T-mobile had already said it was due to a lack of funds to maintain manpower. T-Mobile only employs around 36,000 people, cutting 20,000 of them would be service suicide for AT&T.

As far as those 20,000 jobs, when Alltel bought CellularONE they provided "severance packages" for workers who either didn't want to merge over and learn new rules and ways, or in this case...Union workers who wouldnt want to work for a non-union company.

geeks,
they told us what our severance packages would be about 5 or 6 months ago. No, go do some research, the number of layoffs are rumored to be around 20k.
think about it.. most ATT and Tmobile stores are close to each other. One of those stores are getting shut down. Then you have to get rid of the extra employees as you dont need 20-30 sales reps in every store. Then you have management, call centers, network repair guys, the whole nine.. Lay offs galore.
